Among the cool things about the new Colorista color correction filter from Stu Maschwitz andRed Giant is that you get to use it on all supported on both Mac and Windows. Very generous.

I still need to check to see if rumored features were included, like minimized luma range transition zones and a control to stop/ramp the "flash" of the blacks to blue when adding blue to shadows (like telecine colorists).
